It has been a week passed. Wendy has not coming to the school for the whole week. Ashley can't wait any longer. She is too stress to think about what happen to her friend and the presidential club that has turn upside down. Eric has kicked out Wendy and Ashley from the group chat.
"For what?" Ashley throw her phone on her desk. Her classmate beside her are surprise when she do that.
"Wendy didn't call you yet?" The girl ask.
"No! Everyone is looking for her." Ashley pout her mouth. She bang her head on her desk and muttering alone.
"Why don't you go to the director's house? She is the director's daughter and no doubt that she is at home now." The girl suggest.
That's right. Ashley almost forgot that Wendy is the daughter of their school director.
"Do you know where they lived?" Ask Ashley.
"They are my neighbour." She say coolly.
"What?! Give me the location!" Ashley suddenly stand up and give her phone to her classmate. She clean up her desk and take her school bag.
"Are you going to her house now? It's the second period time.." The girl gives back Ashley's phone after finish typing the address.
"This is a matter of life and death. If teacher ask, tell them I have to stop a bomb from explode.. Thanks!" Ashley hurrily run to the back door of the class.
Ashley sneakily walk with her head look down and carefully not to be seen by others. She walk pass the other class which is Matthew's class. The teacher in the class that is teaching the mathematics suddendly see Ashley is top toeing beside the hallway.
"Student Class 2? Why aren't you in the class?!" The teacher scold her.
Ashley almost trip her leg but she manage to run away. All the student in the class simultaneously look at the hallway including Matthew. The teacher go outside the classroom to see where she has run off to.
"What are you trying to do?" Matthew talk to himself referring to Ashley.
Ashley manages to get out of the school by climbing the back wall of the school. It has become one of her experties now. She catch a bus that just arrive. Guided by the web address in her phone, it is about 1 hour from the school. While waiting for the bus to go, Ashley try to call Wendy's phone. When the bus has already moving, it stop again in force. Luckily, Ashley is sitting on a seat therefore she does not disturbed. Everyone in the bus are shock.
Someone just enter the bus and stand beside Ashley who is busy with her phone. Ashley get a new message.
Matthew: Where are you going?
"Wendy's house.." Ashley speak out her minds. While replying.
Ashley: It is not of your concern
Matthew: What for?
"Because of the stupid contest I guess." Ashley pout.
Ashley: Mind your own business.
Matthew: Can I come along?
"Why you want to come along?.. Are you worry about me?" Ashley blush.
Ashley: Focus in your class.
Then, there is no reply from Matthew. Ashley wait. 5 minutes has passed and Matthew does not reply her text.
Matthew: Are you waiting for my reply?
"Yes!" Ashley say.
Ashley: No.
Matthew: If you say 1,2,3 and close your eyes, I will appear right in front of you.
Ashley: What? Are you stupid?
Matthew: Why don't you try?
Ashley put down her phone. Matthew is acting weird.
"Crazy guy. Does he thinks that I'm stupid? Crazy Matthew.." Ashley nag. In her mind, he really want to try to count and wish that Matthew really appear in front of her. She knows it is just a lies. But it is worth the try and understand her own feelings. She closes her eyes. And after a while, she opens back her eyes. There is no Matthew in front of him.
"Liar." Ashley talk to herself. She fell into the trick.
"I am not a liar." Matthew's voice heard beside her. Ashley turns to her right side and Matthew is standing beside her. She got shock and almost speaks gibberish things.
"When did you come here?!" Ashley is in panic mode. Has he always been beside her since then. Matthew doesn't give an answer and smiles.
"Stop! Don't smile. Don't look at me like that.. You're being weird." Ashley turns herself to other sight.
"And you should stop making me worry about you." Matthew reply. Ashley feels shy and her cheeks turn blush. She want to run away from him and scream out of happiness. Ashley try to looks cool but she end up being like a weird person. Matthew is smiling while looking at her being herself.
"So where are we going?" Ask Matthew. He is still standing beside her seat. Doesn't want to sit down.
"Wendy's house. Try to make things right." Ashley sigh.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." He try to calm her.
The two of them arrive at Wendy's place. It is a huge mansion with a big lawn and has a big pool at a corner of the yard. Ashley cannot sit properly especially in a big mansion like that. It is her first time. While Matthew looks comfortable sitting on the sofa. They are waiting for the maid to call out Wendy from her room.
"Ash!" Wendy yell from upstairs.
"Wends!" Ashley stands up spontaneously.
"I missed you!" Wendy almost wants to jump from the third floor to the ground floor but the maid restrain her from doing so.
"Young lady, please use the stairs.." The maid said with a worry looks on her face.
"Use the stairs stupid!" Ashley almost cry to see her friend after a while.
Wendy run to the stairs while crying and hug her friend tightly.
"I thought I will never see you again," Wendy mumbles in her cry.
"Are you doing okay?" Ashley also cry.
The two of them take their time to embrace each other. Matthew only look them from his seat.
"Young lady, please hurry up before master comes home. I will guard the gate." The maid inform. Wendy nodded.
"What happened?" Asks Ashley. Wendy takes a sit with Ashley and let out a sigh.
"My dad knows about contest. It is fine as long as alpha but, it turns out it was Kevin. My dad got mad because Kevin reported to the board directors and so I'm grounded." Wendy shuffle her hair. She looks so messy and has a strong eye bag under her eyes.
"I think he meant good and report to the directors. But still, he is an omega. The directors see it as a problem. Who would want an omega to lead the school? They are bunch of loser." Matthew speaks his mind.
"Kevin is not a loser. Omega is also like others. They are bound to rule in sort of way and we can't deny it. What's wrong with omega becoming a leader." Asks Ashley. Wendy and Matthew keep silent before answering her question.
"Not in this world. People has their own stereotype. The richest with most power will stay on top. They only looks for title. I lived with my father. I know what he thinks of. He will not let this go off easy." Wendy grabs Ashley's hand try to make her understand.
"So what's going to happen now?" Matthew curious. He does not mean to be rude but he would like to see where will this go.
Wendy looks at Matthew, then Ashley. She looks down to the floor.
"Kevin will be dead by tonight..." She say with a gloomy looks on her face.
"No...!" Ashley almost fell to the floor.
